| Well, we've now seen 11 of the 12 huges, and while I can't say I'm disappointed with the line-up, there are definitely a lot of non-core(read: MM1) critters.
NONCORE:
Aspect of Tiamat
Aspect of Bahamut
Dracolich(but it's sorta core, I know...)
Frost Giant on Mammoth
Eldritch Giant
Mountain Troll
Bluespawn Godslayer
CORE:
Sorceror on Black Dragon
Huge Fire Elemental
Huge Fiendish Spider
Purple Worm
?Tendriculos?
We're still missing a number of Huge demons, the ***ABOLETH***, Remorhaz, Dragon Turtle, Elementals, Huge chromatic/metallic dragons, and I don't think we want to wait another 2 years to get some of them. There are even some noncore figs that I think people would love, like a Huge Elder Eye Beholder, a Death Giant, and Huge skeletons/zombies.
WotDQ's Huges are good, but give us another Huge set next year! Don't make us wait 2 years for the Aboleth! | |

| | I'd have to pass on another huge set so soon. Sure there are some huge minis that would be nice to get that we aren't going to have this time around but on the other hand by far huges are the minis I use the least in my RPG campaigns. | | | |

| While I'm sure Set 13 is nearly finished with development I still hope it's a huge set. If not Set 13 then Set 14.
If it takes a 'customer poll' or 'WoDQ performance analysis' to get another huge set then we're another 2 years out. | |

| Top 20 requested huges: (this has been pretty consistant from the moment the GoL set list came out)
Aboleth
Bebilith Demon
Nalfashnee Demon
Dracolich*
Black Dragon
Blue Dragon
Green Dragon
White Dragon
Brass Dragon
Bronze Dragon
Copper Dragon
Silver Dragon
Air Elemental

We got 3 (maybe 4 when 12 mini revealed). Thats not cool. I could have waited 2 or 3 years between sets before the previews started comming out. But after seeing the huge line up in WotDQ...Id like another huge set next year.

So we are getting almost 1/2 of the huges that are core? That's not too bad by my reckoning.
If WotC were to release all the really highly sought after huges in this set, who would by the next set of huges that contains all (insert color) spawn godslayers..... | | | |

| I dont know about you guys...But I collect as much as play with the minis.
Tiamat and Bhamut are good examples of minis that dont get much RPG use...But Im glad were getting them because they are just cool to have.
I dont know when DDM will reach its end...But when it does I want all 10 true dragons in huge form. No templates...no riders. They will look awsome lined up on a bookself or something.
Since it looks like we got none in this set it just worried me alot. | |

| There are 8 Core Dragons that we still need in Huge Size.
If you release only 2 per set (and ZERO for WotDQ since the Sorcerer Dragon doesn't count unless the rider is removable), then it will take 6 years for all of them.
That sounds a bit too long.
4 years (one every year) would be far better. It honestly wouldn't be that bad if they had just bothered to put two huge NORMAL core standard non-f*cked up dragons in this set. But they didn't.

| | If WotC is going to do what they did with WotDQ (put hardly any core MM1 huges in the set and ZERO riderless dragons) I don't want another huge set. Ever. I'm not really wanting this huge set, now that I have seen what has happened with the selections. | |

| hmmm, I like huges, but I'd rather have more minis. That means I like the price of the regular boosters better. I'm not sure how I feel about another huge set in 1 year.
But, I really, really, really, want an aboleth. Any demon or devil would be great. But, I know this is sacrilege, I'm not sure I need all the dragons.
I have no need for MM1 to be the primary source of monsters - I just want more monsters. | |

| | am I the only person on this board that doesn't want an Aboleth. Its a fish. I don't want to pull a huge fish out of a pack. I also don't like the Nalfashnee. It's a huge toothy gorrilla with wings. not what I want from a huge. I like WotC's selections for the most part. If the supposed aspect of Bahamut is actually an ascended Silver I will be a little happier, but I think they did a great job in choosing the huges.(I reserve judgement on godslayer till I am actually holding one.) | |

I cant count the gargantuan black dragon. Its a different size.
To me its the same as saying we dont need a huge green now because we are getting the large one.
And the Sorcerer on Black Dragon is not the same as a regular Huge Black Dragon...Not to me anyway.
I still say we got 3. | |

| | Personally, I wish every set was a huge set. When you break things down, there are a lot of huge miniatures that people want. I bet that I'd be able to list 100 different huge (and not yet made) creatures from WotC products that would get a 50% approval or better. That would be 8 - 9 sets of huge minis... | |

| | I'd definetely be happy with it staying every 2 years. It wouldnt bother me too much if it was 1 1/2 years, but I'd rather not. We still got plenty of nice Huges, and a lot of them can actually sub pretty well for others in my honest opinion. So I'm not in any huge hurry to see more Huges. If they wanted to tho, I wouldnt complain too much tho =) | |

| What WotC should really do is put out a REAL Huge Set. i.e. 60 Huge Miniatures. :)
They could put 1 Rare, 2 Uncommons in each Booster. Charge $19.99 per booster. They charge $7 extra for one Huge in a "regular" booster so why not $20 for 3 Huges.
Then we might actually get some of the Huges we want.
I agree that there are at least 100 Huge Creatures I would like to see in the next little bit. 60 of them in one set would help get a ton of them out before Hasbro dumbs them for making decisions that customers don't like ;)

Anything's Possible. [:D]
Seriously though I'm sure customer feedback will have some effect but the list of huges everyone wants now after most of WotDQ has been revealed is pretty much the same as it would have been before. Which goes to show you the Wizards design team has their own priorities too.
No doubt a few of the minis on the list will be taken care of in some form or another with the next huge set, but I have even less doubt that the rest will a bunch of new crazy stuff completly off the map. [:p] | | | |

That might be a little overboard. I don't even know if there are 60 huge minis that could be realistically made (outside of crazy templated monsters and 5 different variations of weapons and mounts). | |

| Next year wouldn't be terrible if they waited until the winter/3rd set to do a Huge set. I wouldn't want to see one before then, though.
Then give us 2008 off, and start off 2009 with a Huge/Starter set! Man, that would be messed up. | |
